I heard about a hostel where a guy thought the bunk beds were so high that he could practice his climbing skills on them. He climbed up and then got scared to come down. He had to be rescued by his roommates. It was hilarious.
A really funny story was from a hostel near the beach. A couple of surfers staying there were so tired after a day of surfing that they walked into the wrong hostel room, got into the beds, and were already half asleep when the actual occupants came in. There was a lot of confusion and laughter in the end.
At a hostel in a big city, there was a foreign traveler who was trying to communicate with the hostel staff in broken local language. He ended up ordering the wrong thing for breakfast. Instead of getting toast and eggs, he got a plate full of pickles. His face when he saw it was really funny. He just laughed it off and ate some of it anyway.
I heard about a hostel where a group of backpackers decided to create a mural on one of the walls in the common area. They used paint they bought from a local art store. They worked on it for days, and in the end, it was a beautiful piece of art that represented all their different cultures and the places they had been. It was really cool how they transformed that space.
One really funny one is about a man who believed that his car radio was sending his thoughts to the government. So he would only listen to static. He was so paranoid that he even covered the radio with aluminum foil. After a while, he realized that he had just been watching too many conspiracy theory shows on TV.
One funny story is about a guy interrailing in Scandinavia. He thought he booked a sleeper compartment but actually booked a storage area. He didn't realize until he tried to lie down and there were boxes everywhere. He ended up having to share a normal seat with a really friendly family for the whole night. They shared stories and he had a great time despite the initial mix - up.
I heard a story about a person who accidentally locked themselves out of their apartment while taking out the trash, and they were only wearing their pajamas. They had to call the landlord at 3 in the morning, looking quite silly.
A lady once got on the subway with a huge hat. It was so big that it kept hitting people as she walked down the aisle. She was so oblivious to it and when someone finally told her, she just took it off and put it on her lap and started laughing. It was such a simple yet funny moment.
A funny ape story I heard was about an orangutan. It managed to steal a camera from a wildlife photographer. Instead of being scared, it started taking pictures of itself and the surrounding jungle. The resulting photos were really strange and funny, with the orangutan's big nose and curious eyes filling the frame.
I heard of a roadie who was supposed to set up the microphones. But he got distracted by a food truck outside. When he came back, he set up the mics all wrong, and during the performance, the singer's voice was coming out of the backstage speakers. It was chaos but really funny.
At a glassware manufacturing factory, they were making wine glasses. The molds got a bit distorted one day. As a result, the wine glasses that came out were all wonky - shaped. Some were taller on one side, and some had a twisted stem. It was a hilarious sight, and the factory had to discard a large number of defective products until they fixed the molds.
A co - worker of mine once showed up to work on a Saturday thinking it was Friday. He was all dressed up in his formal work clothes and was very confused when he saw the empty office. He then realized his mistake and just had to laugh at himself.
One interesting story was about a man who thought he could do yoga poses better than anyone in the park. But when he tried to do a headstand, he ended up falling flat on his back. It was really funny as his face was full of shock.
